The State Attorney's Office reached a plea agreement with Shas chairman MK Aryeh Deri, in which he will resign from the Knesset, plead guilty to two tax offenses and pay a fine of NIS 180,000. Deri will not be disgraced for resigning from the Knesset. Undertook to give up the demand for disgrace if Deri returned to political life in the future.
Admission for offenses of non-reporting: As part of the settlement, Deri will admit that he did not submit reports to the tax authorities on two transactions in which he sold or transferred his assets to his brother, Adv. Shlomo Deri. Green Ocean.
Attorney General Adv. Avichai Mandelblit failed to prove that the money actually went to Deri himself who was left with the more depleted charge of failure to report. Here the beneficiary of the differences, according to Mandelblit, is Deri whose version that he relied on his brother in determining the price was accepted.
Deri will resign from the Knesset, a resignation that can be translated into a considerable financial loss. If the Knesset terminates its term on time, Deri will "lose" about 40 salaries and related benefits, which are estimated at about NIS 2 million.
The question of disgrace: The State Attorney's Office did not determine that there was disgrace in the acts because Deri's decision to resign from the Knesset and retire from public life outweighed the need to determine the disgrace. On the other hand, the State Attorney's Office did not rule that there was no disgrace, as it did with MK Haim Katz. Then, the Attorney General's response to the High Court (which will no longer be Mandelblit) may support the stigma attached.
